    NO more Mess!! This is the simplest mess free DIY way to change your own lawnmower oil, rototiller oil, ride-on lawnmower oil, jet ski oil, scooter oil, motorcycle oil, pressure washer oil or ATV oil. Takes 60 seconds! Great for changing the oil in anything that is hard to drain. Most lawnmowers today have no drain plug. Uses are endless. Super cheap to make and saves you money. Makes a great fluid extractor.
    NOTE: NEVER USE THIS TO SUCK UP GASOLINE !

    Folks this guy is the right heart, and the right knowledge of how basic vacuum pumps work. I will tell you now, yes oil is messy, however it is a great fertilizer. Yeah, I said it. Guess what folks it started its life on the surface, leached down over billions of years to become the, hazardous waste you know to be oil. If you want to reasonably get rid of oil buy a cheap sprayer and before sping is in full effect, spray it on the parts of your lawn that has trouble retaining water. It will fertilize your top soil, and provide a basin under the top soil to keep water from soaking in too fast.

Only issue I had was I put the hose a little too far into the container inside the vac and a little bubbled over even though it didn’t over fill. Tiny spill contained in the shop vas is not a big deal compared to the alternative. Plus now I know better so next time will be mess free😁
